  • In our unit test, you are going to get a sort of mystery & you will have to play a 'witness/(wannabe) detective' and write a short email to the police speculating what 'might have happened'
  • Let's try it: Your mentor didn't come back to school after the Christmas break...
  • Write a short story in which you speculate with the modal verbs in the past; use at least once:
    must, may/could/might, can't/couldn't

Slide 15 - Slide

Can you ...
... use modal verbs correctly?
... match the modal verb to the 
right situation?
... speculate in English?
